Pot of Fortune

Theme and Design

A Charming, Traditional Irish Slot Game

There are some interesting alternative interpretations of what an Irish slot can look like in 2024. Push Gaming’s Shamrock Saints and Quickspin’s Brawlers Bar Cash Collect for example choose a darkly humorous take with hard-drinking leprechauns and fist fighting drunks. But ror their part, Pragmatic Play have very much gone down the traditional route instead with cheery leprechauns, idyllic emerald green countryside with bright red toadstools, as well as plenty of cosy symbols like bright green hats and purple smoking pipes. It’s soundtracked by a very traditional folk tune played on what sounds like a banjo. It’s kind of upbeat and relaxing at the same time!

RTP and Variance

Pot of Fortune has three available RTP settings at 96%, 95% and 94%. Some sites will run the game at one of the lower rates. It’s best to check on the game info screen before you play– hit the ‘i’ link under the reels and scroll through until you see RTP. If it’s less than 96% I recommend you play elsewhere. MrQ from Lindar Media is a good option. They usually run Pragmatic Play games at the max RTP.

This is another high variance slot, with a 5/5 rating on Pragmatic’s own scale. This studio has been turning the screw with their volatility levels lately, making games like Mighty Munching Melons and Pompei Megareels Megaways tight as hell, so expect a rough ride, but there are plenty of Free Spins and Sticky Wilds to set up some big win moments too.

Maximum Win

The top payout in Pot of Fortune is 5,000x. A little on the low side, but not that unusual for a Pragmatic Play slot. At the minimum bet of 20p per spin that means you could win £1,000.

Symbols and Paytable

Pot of Fortune is a simple slot with 5 reels, 4 rows and 20 paylines. Wins are triggered in the normal way by landing 3 or more identical symbols across a line from left to right, starting at the left-most reel.

There are 10 symbols in the paytable. Low value ones are the cards, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. These are valued at from 0.2x for 3 10s up to 5x for 5 Aces. The premiums are the the pipe, the beer mug, the shoes, the hat and the leprechaun. These are valued at from 0.6x for 3 pipes up to 125x for 5 leprechauns.

There is also a Gold Pot which represents the Wild symbol. It will substitute for all pay symbols to complete paylines AND pay out at 2.5x, 5x and 125x for 3, 4 or 5 on a line.

Features and Gameplay

Free Spins With Sticky Wilds

Pot of Fortune is the epitome of simple slots play, with just one feature - the free spins round. To trigger this you need to land 6 or more of the Wild Pots (the Gold Pot) and Scatter Pots (a purple pot!). It can be 6 of one, or a combination that makes up 6 (e.g. 3 Wild Pots and 3 Scatter Pots).

Before the free spins start, all Pot symbols that triggered it transform into Sticky Wilds that stay on the reels throughout the spins. These new wilds, now represented as gold coins with 4 leaf clovers on them, have the same pay value as the Wild Pots in the base game – 2.5x, 5x and 125x for 3, 4 or 5 on a line.

There is no opportunity to re-trigger the free spins as no Pot symbols are active during the feature.

Ante Bet

Pragmatic Play sometimes include the Ante Bet feature in their slots. At 1.25x the chosen stake you can increase your chance of landing scatters to trigger the bonus round.
